Chapter 7, Problem 6SA
Program Plan Intro
Array:
An array is defined as a group that consists of similar data types.
- The array size must be specified by an “int” value and not long or short.
- In Java, all arrays are allocated dynamically.
- An array is always indexed, starting from 0.
Declaring an array reference and creating an array:
- To insert elements to an array, first an array has to be created by using new operator and then the reference variable is assigned.
- The syntax is as follows,
arrayRefVar = new elementType[arraySize]
- From the above statement it is clear that, an array is created using new elementType[arraySize] and then the reference to the newly created array is assigned to the variable arrayRefVar.
- It is possible to declare an array variable, create an array and assign the reference to a variable in a single statement itself.
The syntax will be as follows,
elementType[]arrayRefVar = new elementType[arraySize];
elementType arrayRefVar[]= new elementType[arraySize);
Example:
double myFile = new double[20];
The statement given above declares an array variable myFile and then creates an array that consists of 20 elements which are of the datatype double and at last assign the reference to myFile.

- (Electrical eng.) a. An engineer has constructed a two-dimensional array of real numbers with three rows and five columns. This array currently contains test voltages of an amplifier. Write a C++ program that interactively inputs 15 array values, and then determines the total number of voltages in these ranges: less than 60, greater than or equal to 60 and less than 70, greater than or equal to 70 and less than 80, greater than or equal to 80 and less than 90, and greater than or equal to 90. b. Entering 15 voltages each time the program written for Exercise 7a runs is cumbersome. What method could be used for initializing the array during the testing phase? c. How might the program you wrote for Exercise 7a be modified to include the case of no voltage being present? That is, what voltage could be used to indicate an invalid voltage, and how would your program have to be modified to exclude counting such a voltage?arrow_forward(Numerical) Given a one-dimensional array of integer numbers, write and test a function that displays the array elements in reverse order.arrow_forwardProblem2 Write a program that display the position of a given element in an array. You should print the index (i.e. the position) of the element. If the element appears more than one time than you should print all its positions. The size of the array should be entered by the user. If the element does not occur then you should display element not found. Sample1: Enter the size of the array: 5 Enter an array of size 5: 44 5 13 44 67 Enter the element to find: 44 44 is found at position 44 is found at position 44 occurs 2 time(s) Sample2: Enter the size of the array: 4 Enter an array of size 4: 12 150 17 20 Enter the element: 18 18 is not foundarrow_forward
